Lets be honest, after the whole Superbowl Coke debacle, it's not as if people have any idea what our national anthem actually is anyway. Just say it's Guile's theme from SF2, that's good enough at this point.

Not News: Someone posts yet another useless petition to the White House site. News: And then posts it on FARK, thinking folks would boost his or her self-post numbers. FARK: And some modmin greenlights it.

styckx:The White House needs to remove that petition site. It has turned into a hangout for virgins who hang out on Tumblr to make asshole petitions for attention.

I bet it's doing the job they really want it to do, which is divert a significant number of people from writing email and expecting a semi-relevant response, even if it's a form response. With the petition site they don't even have to think of a response to most of what they get.

Arkanaut:Nope, it should be the theme from Team America: World Police.

In all seriousness, I would be behind this one.

The current national anthem is about holding out against all odds against a superior aggressor force. That, historically, stopped applying to our nation sometime in the late 1800s when we started up the policies and technological superiority that eventually gave the Monroe doctrine some real teeth.

A self-aware semi-ironic song about coming to save the motherfarking day and how everyone has to answer to us, though... sums it up pretty well. At least our song would have some relationship to actual reality then.

How about the Blues Brothers concert intro. Sure there are no lyrics, but most singers butcher the N.A. lyrics anyway, so it'll work out. It's short too, so we can get to playing the football game faster. Also, imagine that playing at the Olympics gold medal podium.
